If the PCM/ECM detects that engine speed variation indicates a misfire sufficient to cause three-way catalyst converter damage or emissions level to exceed standard value, the PCM/ECM sets DTC P0302. If the misfire rate is high enough to damage the catalyst, the MIL will flash to alert the vehicle operator.
Item | Detecting Condition | Possible Cause | |
DTC Strategy |
•
Calculation of engine roughness | 1. Faulty spark plugs or Ignition coil 2. Incorrect valve timing 3. Uneven compression 4. Air leakage 5. Improper Fuel pressure or dirty fuel. 6. Blocked/Leaking injectors 7. Leakage between cooling system and cylinder | |
